Robert: Front Site which is perhaps the finest weapons training site in the world is offering to teach any teacher who comes with signed School Letter Head authorizing a teacher to learn to carry, "free training". Any thing else would be a tax write off. The side arm, holster, ammo and the trip out to Nevada would all be tax deductible. Now remember this Robert. Before you come back as a tax expert you have admitted in your posts: "YOU KNOW JACK SHIT about tax write offs.... We have even tried to help you. And you just came back with your typical lame ass excuses. To you others who's claims about students will be shot without any proof. There have been a couple of active shooter situations in schools that were stopped by teachers or administrators who used their own weapons to stop the threat. They did not make it to national media coverage because no one got killed and it does not fit the current mass media format on use of firearms. Like it was posted just a couple of posts down. Israel teachers are armed. With both side arm and rifles. There are pictures of Israel teachers on field trips with their students with M-16's slung and 30 round magazines inserted. No reports of students being shot that I know of.

Ok so arm the teachers. Who is paying for their yearly training courses? Who is paying for their licenses to carry consealed or open? Who is paying the teachers for the added risk and obligations?

You want the teachers to moon light as security? They must now be act 120 trained as well as trained in the law.

You can't just allow a teacher to carry a weapon around and say you are security as well. Security is trained in the legal use of the fire arm as try are not just a civilian, but a law enforcer as well.

This is why Zimmerman is up for charges as a criminal... He wasn't properly trained in the use of a fire arm as part of his job.

The days of the cowboy are gone. Long raign the days of the real law abiding and educated citizen... This means you have taken classes and been properly trained yearly.

Interestingly, in Israel where a lot of teachers ARE armed, and all schools have at least one armed guard, we've yet to hear of any such incidents or casualties as a result of a perp breaking into school.

Acceptable price for what? Not sure what you are trying to get at.

Arming teachers, or anyone else in a school, result in one undeniable fact...at least one person/child will be shot and likely killed before the armed guard will get to the shooter. Is this an acceptable price?

Oh, IIRC, schools aren't all that small. It's not like one armed guard can protect the entire building. So if he/she has to run from one side of the building to the other, more children will be shot/killed...but that's OK so long as some buffoon in BFE can play army with his semi-auto rifle.
